What is the slope for y= -1/2x -3

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

y = (x , y)

m = slope

x = (x , y)

b = y-intercept.

In this case, the number that replaces the m (slope) is -1/2, which is your answer.

~

m= -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is in slope intercept form:

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

We have the equation:

y= -1/2x -3

If we compare the 2 equations:

y=-1/2x -3

y=mx+b

The slope must be -1/2, since x is being multiplied by -1/2
